Oh but the link DOES work.
It isn't confusing at all.
It clears things up for folks who come to TMO expecting a free helpline and a Latte handed to them while they wait.

Unfortunately
new folks come here with this idea that "things shouldn't be the way they are here " and expect someone else to deal with it for them.

ie: * "I don't see a real value for him to need to use lots and lots of time reading different threads in this forum trying to find answers to many questions if there are people who know the answers and could easily give them."
and of course yet again " think that this forum would have more value if there would be a procedure of keeping some wikipages updated that way that always when there comes a new user asking the same guestions you could just say "first read all these pages for new users". Now I have got answers from some or just "read through the forum" sometimes. I just don't think it is a wise thing to do and I think this should change."

Wake up, Buttercup.

I know it is going to be hard to come to grips with...
But ..

yours and many other new folks "I think .."
and "I want..."
and "I need ..."
and "right away..."
I am here to let you and other new folks coming ...
know...
on behalf of the community and myself included ..
That...
Contrary to your belief ...
you are not the centre of the universe.
Your need and other new members needs do not trump all else,
the facts of what the community is dealing with,
cause and effect or reality itself.

My last post works as a reminder ..
because everything I said in it...
Has been / Is / Will be fact since :
A- Nokia support and development teams left.
B- Outside support and development teams have stopped doing work for the NIT line
C- We lost enough inside devels / maintainers / coders for the NIT line

D- Leste's or ANY new os arrival isn't going to improve the wiki magically
E- Leste's or ANY new os arrival isn't going to maintain anything for the n900 magically.
F- Leste's or ANY new os arrival isn't going to answer your questions magically.

D, E, and F takes maintainers, teams, devs, coders, inside here and outside as well.
We don't have them. Nor do we have external supports.
IF some community come back for Leste ..they WON'T be focusing on the n900.
IF some n900 users come back with hopes for using their n900's again.. ...they will be USERS...not what you are asking for.

waiting for Leste to solve these issues?
wait all you want.
ALL Leste offers is an alternate OS.
ALL Leste team offers is "how to install it"
IT IS NOT THE LESTE TEAM'S JOB TO MAINTAIN THIS PLACE, WRITE WIKIS FOR YOU, WHATEVER.



The sig link clears everything up nicely.

If you have an issue with the preceding facts there is a help line you can access...
It is in the wiki somewhere..
to access the helpline..
I suggest
study
reading
research and
learning...

and I am sure you will find that call centre help line.
